If your skin runs sensitive, reactive, or just plain thirsty, this is the cream it's been waiting for.
Anua's Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream leads with an exceptional 70% heartleaf extract (Houttuynia Cordata) — a Korean botanical powerhouse packed with flavonoids that deliver anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial benefits.
Working alongside ceramides and panthenol, it strengthens the skin barrier, soothes redness, calms breakouts, and encourages moisture retention. Skin Cupid Adenosine rounds out the formula with anti-aging support, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and promote skin elasticity.
The texture is rich and creamy without ever feeling heavy — it absorbs cleanly, leaves no greasy residue, and keeps skin feeling plump and comfortable from morning to night. It's equally effective as part of your daily AM routine or as a deeply nourishing overnight treatment.
Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and cruelty-free Amazon, this is K-beauty barrier care at its most effective — gentle enough for the most reactive skin, hardworking enough to make a real difference.
Why we carry this
The Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream was one of those additions that felt like a no-brainer the moment we tried it. We have a rule — nothing goes on the site unless we've used it — and this one passed immediately.
What struck us first was the texture. It's thick in the jar but disappears into the skin without any of the heaviness you'd expect. No residue, no shine, no that-didn't-sink-in feeling the next morning. Just genuinely calm, comfortable skin.
We've found it particularly useful after retinol nights or on days when skin feels reactive and needs something that will settle it down rather than aggravate it further. The 70% heartleaf concentration isn't marketing fluff — you can genuinely feel the difference by morning.
At this price, it's one of the best value moisturisers we've come across. The kind of product that quietly becomes the one you reach for every day without really noticing — until you run out.
